<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 5140677, member: 110504"]Tell me who knew this already. Just starting with [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER]. One thing that's cool is how the numismatic gray areas can be seen, more or less speculatively, to correspond to similar gray areas in their broader historical context. Over a wider spectrum, from, say, political to cultural to numismatic history, you can see the almost geometrically symbiotic relations between one subcontext and another. ...And the taxonomy within historical disciplines is already as inexorably arbitrary as the resultant chronology. ('Culture' overtly used as a political tool, for one.) You're kind of pushing the boundaries of what language is rationally capable of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
